Here to subscribe, you have some fab meals and I need to broaden my horizons a bit! Usually do green and ee as I struggle for rd day ideas (the usual story) but inspired after reading through your diary! Well done on your fab loss so far! X

Thank you! I pretty much did red days for 7 months and lost most the weight. I reached target of 11 stone and now toying with extending target, not sure! Been having a few more ee meals these days but do find red so much easier!

Happy if a few of my meals have helped xx

Hi rach! I just tried the 5:2 diet recently. Sw is fantastic and really works but I just started to struggle recently. Very common once at target! I put on a few lbs over Easter so just used 5:2 (2 fast days and 5 calorie counting days) to get the lbs off quick, which worked!!

I don't intend to do anymore fast days!

Just had a very yummy chicken stir fry, proper sw food :-D

I hear ya Jen! I went clothes shopping and I'm so untoned, it makes pretty much anything apart from baggy stuff look horrible on, I'm all stomach so need to get back into exercise as I'm sick of it now, I don't know how after losing 2.5 stone I can look exactly the same in clothes, it's pretty annoying xx

 

[Jenny809]

I know! Made me realise that it really was my running that made me so successful with weight loss last year. Got a massive birthday shopping trip end of may, refuse to buy a bigger size!

 

[Jenny809]

30 squats done :-D
